The recent Israel-Hamas war was not a black swan moment, but rather the result of a perfect storm brewing for years. The moderate Palestinians, who had warned about Hamas extremism, were ignored. Meanwhile, distractions and disengagement from Israel and the United States further exacerbated the situation. The signing of the Abraham Accords, which excluded the Palestinians, was seen as another blow to their cause. This failure to address the core issue of Israel-Palestine and focus on economic opportunities instead has led to the demise of the two-state solution and the Palestinian moderate camp.
